Statutory Issues Related to Investigations
Interception Limited to Trespasser
USA PATRIOT Act Sections 2511(2)(i)(III) and (IV)
Section 2511\(2\)\(i\)\(IV\) requires that investigators intercept only the communications sent or received by trespassers. Thus, these sections would only apply where the configuration of the computer system allows the interception of communications to and from the trespasser, and not the interception of non-consenting, authorized users of the computer.
